I disagree. Maybe it is a bad idea to have CLIENTS access news from AFS
space. On the other hand, it has always been a ridiculous idea to push
ALL news to an NNTP server, whether they will ever be read or not. Or
news service has more or less died because INN doesn't manage to
transfer articles across the Atlantic as fast as they appear. If a
master in the US would put provide news in AFS space, we could run a
local NNTP 'slave' server with a big cache. The slave server would only
pull the articles someone actually wants to read, while it would still
have all articles virtually available to the user.
